Should the President be impeached

A friend of mine, yeah, I said, “friend,” recently pointed out that
the Gallup pollsters have thus far declined to poll on whether or not
folk would care to see the President of the United States, George W
Bush, impeached.
I’m not linking to his site in this instance because I don’t want
anyone’s rhetoric, least of all mine, cast at you before you vote.

I’m not going to discuss my own vote or link to an article I wrote on
the topic 7 years ago because my views haven’t changed. This is about
your view, my loyal readers (and searchers for non-existent child
pornography).

Every page on the dailies has the poll in the sidebar. I’m probably
just setting myself up to be embarrassed by how few will vote—and
therefore how few actually read anything here—but there you have it.
It will stay up until it ceases to be interesting or gets enough votes
to call a game.

The two possible responses are printed in random order to avoid
swaying fence sitters or getting into butterfly ballot recriminations.

update: poll is over, analysis of results is forthcoming.

update 2, 16 September 2010: Wow… that was a long time ago. Dog ate my data. The results—boiled down—68% of US IP votes were for impeachment. In other words, the right amount. I had some clever summation of it. Not so clever now, are you? I mean me. You’re fine. It’s not you. It’s me.

Why would you want to do this? You can put an ad and link for your site there. You can put a “Sedition·sucks” there. It’s above the fold on the top page and it’s all yours until the next visitor comes along.

Why would we want to do this? 1) Free speech is fun. 2) Cross-pollination is fun. 3) A Web 2.0 résumé point is nice when poking the job market with a sharp stick.

A certain man who visited foreign lands could talk of little when
he returned to his home except the wonderful adventures he had
met with and the great deeds he had done abroad.

One of the feats he told about was a leap he had made in a city
Called Rhodes. That leap was so great, he said, that no other man
could leap anywhere near the distance. A great many persons in
Rhodes had seen him do it and would prove that what he told was
true.

“No need of witnesses,” said one of the hearers. “Suppose this
city is Rhodes. Now show us how far you can jump.”
